​

Untreated gum disease can lead to undesirable appearance, discomfort, and eventually tooth loss. We want to help you avoid experiencing any of these situations. We will monitor your gum health and periodontal status routinely.

 

Did you know that there is a connection between oral health and heart disease? It’s true – advanced tooth decay can actually compromise the tissue of the heart! Tobacco, diabetes, pregnancy, nutrition, and eating disorders can all affect your oral health - in fact there are many connections between an array of conditions having nothing to do with the mouth that can show up as dental problems. This is a matter of course for you discuss with your primary care doctor, for instance finding out if the medications you take contribute in any way to risk of poor oral health.

 

At White Orchid we take patient education very seriously and want you to be aware of how staying ahead of the curve in oral health can contribute to total health.
